I'd say I'm educated in blockchain as of ~5 years ago, and haven't paid much attention lately. Didn't know this about Monero or ZCASH and I appreciated @Fmstrat@lemmy.world 's explanation.

I use a persistent (Wireguard) VPN back to my home network at all times. Primary benefit is avoiding any MitM, with secondary benefits including access to local services, and DNS ad-blocking.

Examples of what? Dropping the "you" in the sentence all together, or the casual ways to say "you"?

Regarding dropping it, it's very common to drop the "I" or the "you" in regular speaking, as it's assumed. Verb conjugation has a lot more power in Japanese, and you designate questions separately, which clears up most of the confusion. In English, "Go to the store" can either be a command or a statement (if you add "I will" at the front). In Japanese, this is explained in the conjugation of the verb. The subject thus becomes superfluous, and is dropped in everyday speech.

There's a ton of different ways to say both "I" and "you" in Japanese, and can depend on gender, closeness, and situation. The four most common forms of "you" are to say the person's name + さん (san), あなた (anata) which is rather generic but is odd to use too much especially if you know the person's name, 君 (kimi) for people who know each other well (slightly masculine), and お前 (omae) which is so informal it can be crass, like calling a stranger "bro" in English.

Sounds like you're focused on multiplayer games, but the Echoes of the Eye expansion pack for Outer Wilds is a phonemonal "spooky" and eerie game without being a true horror game. Highly recommend both it and the base game.

There's a similar story in paragliding, by leading designer Ozone discovering a breakthrough around 2010. The discovery was basically designing holes in the leading edge of the glider which would allow airflow through, making the structure more resistant to collapse. They didn't monopolize the discovery, and allowed all other manufacturers to use it as well. Always love these stories.
